This paper proposes a brief reflection on the new spaces of intermediation that the expansion of the network society allows the subjects of public policy. Based on bibliographic research in the field of public policies and social communication, seeks to grasp some of the effects of the network society in shaping the systemic and formal agendas. It emphasizes, this way, the expansion of the network society as a further impetus to the action of certain subjects of public policies, such as pressure groups and social movements. It admits that such expansion acts as a catalyst in the process of articulation of popular demonstrations through the internet as a way for these subjects to produce changes in formal or governmental agenda. It considers that, for the subjects of public policies, occurs a resizing of the media role in front of the new spaces of intermediation that network society provides.
